Elodie Eiffener

Following my studies at the University of Maastricht, I am passionate about European Public Health. During my PhD at the University Hospital in Munich, I have been working in Cardiology and clinical research, as a project manager for large-scale clinical trials - focused on digital health/telemedicine and cardiovascular health outcomes.

Currently, I am working as a postdoctoral researcher at the Unit of Environmental Epidemiology, Department of Environmental Medicine (IMM) at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm. Within the Stockholm Environmental Health Program, my main research activities center around mapping environmental health inequities, as well as linking environmental hazards (e.g. air pollution, traffic noise, lack of greenness, urban heat islands, crowded housing) to relevant health outcomes in children and adults. My main interest lies within the connection of the environment, urbanisation and health. Also, I am a One Health enthusiast and intend to incorporate the approach even more into my future research and teaching.

Besides my research, I really enjoy teaching on the aforementioned topics, especially on One Health. I am always happy to collaborate and open for conversations so please do not hesitate to reach out! Multi- and transdisciplinary research and teaching, as well as outreach activities, are especially dear to me.

The main project that I am involved in: Stockholms Miljöhälsoprogramm

God och jämlik miljöhälsa i en hållbar stad – Stockholms Miljöhälsoprogram | Karolinska Institutet (ki.se)

In general I have a strong interest in teaching. Currently I teach a seminar series on One Health for PhD students and now also have some lectures on One Health within the medical programme at KI. My goal is to include more One Health aspects in KI's educational activties and introduce the topic/approach to a wider audience within the group of future health professionals. I'll gladly supervise students and/or to teach guest lectures on the topics I am working on!
